No Data Corruption & Data Integrity

Data corruption is the unintentional transformation of a file or the losing of info which usually occurs during reading or writing. The reason could be hardware or software failure, and as a consequence, a file can become partially or completely corrupted, so it'll no longer work properly since its bits shall be scrambled or lacking. An image file, for example, will no longer display an accurate image, but a random mix of colors, an archive will be impossible to unpack because its content will be unreadable, etc. When this kind of a problem appears and it's not noticed by the system or by an admin, the data will get corrupted silently and in case this happens on a disk drive that is a part of a RAID array where the info is synced between different drives, the corrupted file shall be duplicated on all the other drives and the harm will be long term. A large number of widespread file systems either don't offer real-time checks or don't have high quality ones which will detect an issue before the damage is done, so silent data corruption is a rather common matter on internet hosting servers where large amounts of info are kept.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Website Hosting

The integrity of the data which you upload to your new website hosting account will be guaranteed by the ZFS file system which we work with on our cloud platform. The majority of hosting providers, including our company, use multiple HDDs to keep content and considering that the drives work in a RAID, exactly the same data is synchronized between the drives at all times. If a file on a drive is damaged for some reason, yet, it is very likely that it will be reproduced on the other drives as alternative file systems do not have special checks for this. Unlike them, ZFS works with a digital fingerprint, or a checksum, for every file. In the event that a file gets corrupted, its checksum will not match what ZFS has as a record for it, and the bad copy shall be swapped with a good one from a different drive. Due to the fact that this happens in real time, there's no risk for any of your files to ever be damaged.

No Data Corruption & Data Integrity in Semi-dedicated Servers

Your semi-dedicated server account will be shielded from silent data corruption as all of our storage servers work with the advanced ZFS file system. What makes the aforementioned unique is that it employs checksums, or digital identifiers, so as to ensure the integrity of each file. When you upload content to your account, it will be saved on several redundant drives in a RAID i.e. the files shall be the same across all drives. All of the copies of a particular file will feature the same checksum on all hard disks and ZFS will compare the checksums of the copies quickly, so if it identifies a mismatch, which will indicate that one of the copies is corrupted, it will substitute that file with a good copy from one of the other disks. Even if there is a sudden power failure, the data on the servers won't be corrupted and there will not be any need for a time-consuming system check which other file systems perform after some breakdown, lengthening the time needed for the server to get back online. ZFS is the sole file system that can really protect your content from silent data corruption.
